Festival/Glassworks photos

[Don in SJ]

Went to a small Pinelands Festival today in our local county park, and the picnic area where the festivities were held was directly across the road from the Estellville Glassworks, which started in the 1820's. The county preserved what was left of the standing walls, and no, you cannot metal detect in the park.

Great looking park, Don.

Thanks for posting the dialog stuff... I read it all! Neato...

Too bad no detecting allowed.

I'd certainly prefer things to be recovered and even in private possession than allowed to decompose by govt edict

Oh well...

Best

Great post I love the history I read it all too! The pics are are great too. I agree I sometimes wish things could be put even in private possesion rather than rot away in the ground but I also understand to many bad detectorist have torn up things ruins it for everyone else. Just Thank-You for sharing your day

I'm glad they preserved some of the history for all to enjoy.
